Add Control automation maturity section

Byron Boots requested to merge update-secassurance-auto-page into main

Why is this change being made?

This MR updates the SecAssuranceAuto page with a few changes:

  1. Update to the weighting of issues to use the fibonacci sequence scale to more closely align with Sec Auto. This comes out of a deeper dive into the usage of this scale and centers around complexity of problems not growing linearly but rather exponentially which is better represented by the fibonacci sequence. The qualitative definitions are not changing in this iteration.
  2. Adding a Control Automation Maturity section and initial scale for use in assessing Control Automations. This also includes an explanation of how to use the scale. The reason for introducing the scale is that right now we don't have a standard scale to assess current/potential automation as it relates to controls and this will give us that capability which will help in prioritizing control automation work.
  3. Additional minor changes to cleanup language and reflect more accurately current state.
